Save Livejournal Month, Day 11: Buses

A bus ride on a Sunday afternoon, to meet sushidog for a coffee near the Round Chapel, where she’s helping her sister at the East London Vintage Fair.

The 308 comes to a stop at the garage. The driver slowly stands up and stares at me and the other passenger left inside.

‘That was the last stop.’

‘The bus said it was going to Clapton Pond,’ I reply. ‘We are not near a pond.’

He grudgingly shows us the way out – a path that borders the busy and dangerous Clapton roundabout. He then runs through traffic and nearly gets hit.

Oh we were there on Sunday too! Would have been funny if we'd bumped into you. Where did you have a coffee? There seems to be somewhere new every week on L Clapton Road.

That would have been nice!

Clapton is changing so much - the bus went through Chatsworth Road and I briefly thought I was in Hampstead. The coffee shop we went to advertised Ethiopian coffee outside and was just down from Biddle Bros pub.
